COLUMBIA - The Columbia City Council is set to hear a proposal for a community-oriented policing program on Monday, during the regular city council meeting at 7 p.m.
The Columbia Citizens Police Review Board sent a letter to Mayor Brian Treece and members of the City Council on April 23, which outlined a new community-oriented policing program. The program was created by board member Carly Gomez and newly elected Vice Chair Heather Heckman-McKenna.
The Columbia Citizens Police Review Board s mission is to bridge the gap between law enforcement, and the community, to help increase trust. The program, proposed by the board, would provide Columbia Police officers with education and support to embrace and implement community-oriented policing tactics.
